One Piece: Throne War

_in the port_

The building at this port is really bad compared to my house in the mountains. If you are poor and weak, you cannot choose where you live. One Piece is truly a place for strong people.

'Hmmm, it is the only house in this area. The other is a warehouse or bar. Oh, there is someone whose appearance is the same age as mine. ' Cross's feelings immediately changed because he saw someone his age'. Cross then approached him.

"Hey" Cross called him.

"What?" he replied coldly.

"Why are you practicing like that?" Cross asked curiously.

"It's none of your business. It's better that you go instead of disturbing my training" with a cold tone.

"But the way you are trained will only destroy your body from the inside. And it's too raw, there's no technique at all." Talk Cross in a mocking tone.

* Swuuush *

The boy's fist arrived suddenly towards Cross's face. Cross was surprised because he didn't expect him to attack. However, he could avoid being beaten because of his experience in many wars. 'I still don't want to reveal my wind power'

"Hey, calm down first!" Cross shouted.

* Swuush * * Swuush * * Swuush *

The boy continued to attack with his punch. But Cross avoids all blows.

'This kid won't listen to me. Shit!' Cross condemned his bad luck.

"Why did you make fun of me? !!" Shouted the boy.

Cross was very upset because this boy was very annoying and he kicked at the boy's stomach. Although the power is small, the accuracy of the kick is perfect.

* Swuush *

The boy who received the kick didn't expect Cross's kick to hurt so much.

* Buaghhh * * Thud *

Because he couldn't bear the pain, the boy's position was one knee to the ground. The boy looked at Cross with hatred. Hate because the person he first saw mocked the way he practiced and also hated himself for being weak. Cross saw the reaction was also confused about what to do.

"You have strength but you have no technique at all," Cross said mockingly.

"SHUT UP! * Cough *" replied the boy irritably.

"I can give you a book to practice martial arts if you want. And I also have some techniques that I can teach you." While issuing a book about martial arts.

"What do you want? I'm not stupid, no one gives a martial arts book or teaches martial arts techniques for free." Asked the boy confusedly.

"Hahaha, interesting. I only want one thing. Join my crew." While giving a hand to help the boy stand up.

"Crew? I want to be a marine !!" The boy answered. Ignoring the help.

"Marine? Hahaha" Cross laughed loudly.

"Why are you laughing !?" The boy was really angry.

"Do you know the truth of Marine?" Cross answered seriously. The taunts he just showed disappeared completely.

"Truth? What do you mean?" The boy didn't understand at all.

"What I mean is ..." Before Cross finished speaking. Suddenly a woman ran from the direction of the house and embraced the boy. After checking the boy it was fine. The woman was very relieved. She stood up and walked towards Cross. Cross thought she would scold him but he didn't expect what he had heard.

"Please forgive my child !!" he said while bowing.

"He was the first to make fun of me !!!" The boy stood up and shouted irritably.

His mother looked at him and asked the boy "who hit first?"

"..." the boy was just silent.

"That's why you don't have friend *cough cough cough *" his mother advised him while coughing very hard.

"Are you okay? Mom better rest at home, let's go into the house. You also come along." The boy asked, uneasy. And invite Cross into his house.

"All right," Cross answered weakly.

_Inside the house_

'Are they mothers and children? But their personalities are really different! The mother's aura is like calm water while her child is like a mountain ready to erupt at any time. A princess is different. ' Cross was amazed by the aura that the woman had released.

"Are you okay?" Asked the woman to Cross.

"I'm fine, aunt. Ah, my name is Fate D. Cross. You can call me Cross." Cross replied while introducing himself.

"Oh, you are very polite. My name is Misla Bael and my son is named Sairaorg Bael." Misla introduced herself with a smile.

"May I ask what you were talking about Cross?" Misla asked Cross.

"Yes, what do you mean, Cross?" Sairaorg is also confused about what Cross meant.

"Hmmm, you better see this." Cross gave a book from space.

Sairaorg took the book and read it with his mother. At first, they were confused about what this book was but after reading two pages they realized that it was a Marine notebook. They were both shocked by the contents of the book. And looked at Cross asking for an explanation. Cross is aware of this.

"That is my grandfather's notebook, he is a former Marine. From that book, you can draw the conclusion that Marine is not what you think."

"And because of that, you laugh at Sairaorg? And you want him to be your crew? Even though Sairaorg agrees, aren't you two still children?" Misla asked Cross worriedly.

"Yes, that's what I hoped for. I recruited him now to practice first. I planned to sail the ocean when I was seventeen." Cross explained the purpose was to recruit Sairaorg.

"I don't want to. I want to be a marine because I want to cure my mother. If my position is high, they will cure my mother." Sairaorg answered who was worried about his mother's condition.

"What if I can cure your mother's illness?" Cross asked confidently.

"!!!" Misla and Sairaorg were shocked to hear him.

"Don't joke with me if you know that even doctors in this country have given up on healing my mother," Sairaorg answered with a shout.

"Yes, your mother's disease is very rare in East Blue, but not in the Grand Line. And I have knowledge about it. Even though you are a royal family does not mean that doctors in the palace know all the diseases in the world." Cross speaks confidently.

"..." His eyes were wide open and Sairaorg didn't know what to say.

"Can you cure my illness Cross?" Ask Misla with disbelief.

"Yes, I can cure it one hundred percent," Cross replied confidently.

"Even though you can cure my mother, I won't leave her here, go away. Therefore I can't be your crew." Sairaorg shouts towards Cross.

"I thought you were mistaken, Misla-san will sail on the sea with us. She will go sailing until I find a safe island, Misla-san can stay there while you follow me." Cross explained to Sairaorg.

"Safe island?" Sairaorg asked who didn't understand.

"On the Grand Line, there are islands that are occupied by women only. So I think Misla-san will be safe there." Answer cross while answering the island.

"If the island is really only occupied by women, then I will become your crew," Sairaorg said hopefully.

"Of course it's true. I also want to go there to find a girlfriend * cough * I mean to take Misla-san." Answer cross with embarrassed.

"Hehe you're cute Cross," Misla said with a small laugh.

"Are you a pervert?" Sairaorg asked while shaking his head.

"Of course. Everyone is perverted. What distinguishes them is perverted open and perverted closed. And I'm including a closed pervert ... maybe ..." Cross replied with a smaller voice.
